a year long ad campaign is not positive news. its absurd. it IS a total waste of resources that could be better utilised by sharing the cost with many games instead of a year long campaign devoted to one game.
its self evident because as i pointed out, there are no other ads for nintendo wiiu games, but now they reveal they will throw a years budget on mario kart. you can only laugh.
its not impressive or positive news, its just plain bad business. bad mark...
where are the other nintendo ads then? exactly.
its obvious and evident that they are saving all or the vast majority of the budget for this one game.
meanwhile dozens of other releases hit the shelves with not so much as a poster on the wall to let people know the game exists.
this is why nintendo are losing.
why dont they share their marketing budget between many games, instead of blowing it all on one game in a ridiculous one year campaign.
so out of touch
i used to have mixed feelings about the wiiu.. but now my mind is totally made up...
its not very good.
it fails in the technical department- it simply can not compete with the big boys, ps4 and X1. this is already apparent with games like watch dogs being gimped on wiiu.
it fails in its attempt to be innovative- the controller simply serves no purpose, other than as a gimmick.
it fails on the most important part- software. s...
while at the time it seemed nintendo were trying to do something different, maybe even innovative by not attending e3 and instead using its own platform (nintendo direct) to make announcements, it has since become glaringly obvious that nintendo only sat e3 out because they had virtually nothing to show.
even the nintendo directs are bare and uninteresting...
for them to return to e3 with a strong show would be a monumental task.. and judging by nintendos re...
lol you are the one who is going to be eating humble pie when e3 comes around.
its also a dead cert that nintendo will disappoint at e3. that have become experts at letting down fans each year.
there will be no surprise announcements, nothing positive will be gained by e3 for nintendo.
just think, while nintendo are breaking the hearts of their fans, sony and microsoft will be getting standing ovations, since history has shown they have taken full advantage of these events and always impressing.
nintendo just arent in t...

''offering it without a gamepad is stupid, it's a must for the true experience and mandatory for several games and applications. ''
look, the wiiu 'experience' hasnt caught on. people just dont care for the unique gamepad. its a hindrance, an expensive one too! nintendo need to remarket the wiiu as a cheap alternative to the ps4/x1. they can do this by ditching the irrelevant controller that consumers simpl...
it needs a drastic price drop.
it needs to be offered without the game pad.
''They would have to somehow convince the 6-million buyers they just abandoned to upgrade to their new-new console''
the people who already own wiius arent stupid, even if the few wiiu owners come here and say its the best console ever, the fact is they are gritting their teeth and losing their patience with nintendo for not releasing many games or getting the strong 3rd party support that was promised in the beginning.
THAT is damaging to ni...

mario kart 8- looks to be another fun mario kart
beyonetta 2- great exclusive
hyrule warriors- lets be honest, nobody cares about dynasty warriors, so dont pretend to care now just because its disguised as a zelda game. lets also not ignore the fact it looks horrid. but i suppose it will be good for die hard fans to play while waiting for the real zelda on wiiu.
x- astounding.
yarn yoshi- alright if you are a child.
...
yeh, nintendo arent really supporting the wiiu. seems they have ran out of steam. no push what so ever.
there is no momentum, and even the big title is being put on the back burner so they can get their maximum profit off the 3ds version.
says it all
...
i believe the reason the wiiu isnt selling (apart from lack of games) is the high price. it really doesnt matter what software they put out if the consumer doesnt think the hardware is good value.
so they need to drop the price. a good price would be £199 for the bundle. £250 is too much.
''by all means pay roughly £100 more for a PS4''
i dont care about the ps4

''if you own a wiiu you own no games''
''They're having a year-long ad campaign for their most financially-strong title and it's a BAD thing? ''
anyone would think mario kart was nintendos sole title for the wiiu.
it seems nintendo are literally placing all their chips on mario kart.
